This option will allow the user to edit the background display of the Comic Reader, as well as choose between display options ​for the displayed ecomic itself. There are three ways to open this dialog: In the Main Menu, under Display:

+

\\

+

{{:​gui:​display_settings_1.jpg|}}

+

\\

+

\\

+

\\

+

...in The {I'll fix this when I get answer to it's name in forum}, ​by choosing the Tool icon:

+

\\

+

{{:​gui:​display_settings_2.jpg|}}

+

\\

+

\\

+

\\

+

...and by selecting F9. Any of these will open the dialog box:

+

{{:​gui:​display_settings_3.jpg|}}

+

\\

+

\\

+

\\

+

====== Realistic Comic Display ======

+

By selecting this, a shadow effect will be added to the comic, reproducing the appearance that occurs in an actual comic when it is opened.

+

\\

+

\\

+

Without Realistic Comic Display:

+

\\

+

\\

+

{{:​gui:​display_settings_6.jpg|}}

+

\\

+

\\

+

\\

+

====== Leave Margins Around The Pages ======

+

+

With this option you can have a border around the comic in the reader.

+

+

Without Margins:

+

+

\\

+

\\

+

\\

+

+

\\

+

\\

+

====== Effects: Page Transition ======

+

+

There are five options:

+

+

No Page Transition Effect. This will turn the page without any animations.

+

+

New Page Fades In. This will turn the page with a fading transition.

+

+

New Page Scrolls In Horizontally. The page will slide onto the reader in a sideways motion.

+

+

New Page Scrolls In Vertically. The page will slide onto the reader from the bottom to the top.

+

+

Page Turn Effect. This is an animated motion that simulates turning a page from a real comic by hand.

+

+

====== Effects: Paper ======

+

+

This will add an effect, such as a texture, over the ecomic itself.

+

\\

+

\\

+

Default: This displays the ecomic, as is.

+

\\

+

{{:​gui:​display_settings_13.jpg|}}

+

\\

+

\\

+

\\

+

Checkered: This adds a blue-lined grid pattern over the ecomic.

+

\\

+

{{:​gui:​display_settings_9.jpg|}}

+

\\

+

\\

+

\\

+

White Papers 1, 2, 3: These add textures over the ecomic, simulating such things as weathering or grain to the page.

+

The user can also load their own textures, can adjust the strength of the texture, and has the option of either None, Tile, Center, Stretch or Zoom, as one would with a Desktop Background.

+

+

====== Background ======

+

+

Solid Color: This allows the user to choose one color to have as the one background for the reader area. If you choose to always have the comic surrounded by black, for instance, you can choose that here. There are a total of 140 different color options.

+

+

Adjust Color To Current Page: The background will blend with the primary color of the page displayed to create a solid color that will change as the page is turned and the primary color changes. Here is an example of this feature at work:

+

+

+

\\

+

\\

+

\\

+

Texture: This will allow the user to load an image file to serve as the background. There are a number of these that come with ComicRack, and the user may also load their own. Here is an example of the background texture "Brick Wall":

+

+

The user has the option of either None, Tile, Center, Stretch or Zoom, as one would with a Desktop Background.
